In summary, the Fiordland bottlenose
dolphins display a relatively high level
of genetic diversity, relatively low
magnitudes of genetic differentiation,
and may experience gene flow at rates
above the level likely to lead to local
adaptation. Mechanisms for the
observed genetic diversity are unknown
and may be the result of interbreeding
with other populations or insufficient
time for drift or local adaptation to
occur. The extremely limited genetic
data for the Milford Sound community
and lack of genetic data for the Dusky
Sound community add to the level of
uncertainty regarding the evolutionary
significance of genetic characteristics of
the Fiordland population segment.
Taken together, there is insufficient data
to show that the genetic characteristics
of the Fiordland bottlenose dolphins
differ markedly from other populations
of the species.
DPS Conclusion and ESA Finding
According to our analysis, the
Fiordland bottlenose dolphin
population is discrete based on
evidence it is a relatively closed and
isolated population segment. However,
while discrete, the Fiordland dolphin
population segment does not meet any
criteria for significance to the taxon as
a whole. As such, based on the best
available data, we conclude that the
Fiordland bottlenose dolphins do not
constitute a DPS and thus do not qualify
for listing under the ESA. Therefore, we
do not propose to list this population
segment. As this is a final action, we do
not solicit comments on it.

ACTION: Notice of SEDAR Procedural
Workshop 7: SEDAR Data Best Practices
post-workshop webinar.
AGENCY:
A post workshop webinar will
be held, if necessary, following the June
22–26, 2015 SEDAR Procedural
Workshop 7 to develop best practice
recommendations for SEDAR Data
Workshops, in Atlanta, GA. See
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.
DATES: The SEDAR Procedural
Workshop 7 post-workshop webinar
will be held, if necessary, on Tuesday,
July 7, 2015, from 3 p.m. until 5 p.m.
The established times may be
adjusted as necessary to accommodate
the timely completion of discussion
relevant to procedural workshop. Such
adjustments may result in the meeting
being extended from, or completed prior
to the time established by this notice.
ADDRESSES:
Meeting address: The meeting will be
held via webinar. The webinar is open
to members of the public. Those
interested in participating should
contact Julia Byrd at SEDAR (see FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT below) to
request an invitation providing webinar
access information. Please request
webinar invitations at least 24 hours in
advance of each webinar.
SEDAR address: 4055 Faber Place
Drive, Suite 201, North Charleston, SC
29405.

SUMMARY:
The Gulf
of Mexico, South Atlantic, and
Caribbean Fishery Management
Councils, in conjunction with NOAA
Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf
States Marine Fisheries Commissions
have implemented the Southeast Data,
Assessment and Review (SEDAR)
process, a multi-step method for
determining the status of fish stocks in
the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a three
step process including: (1) Data
Workshop; (2) Assessment Process
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

utilizing workshops and webinars; and
(3) Review Workshop.
SEDAR also coordinates procedural
workshops which provide an
opportunity for focused discussion and
deliberation on topics that arise in
multiple assessments. They are
structured to develop best practices for
addressing common issues across
assessments. The seventh procedural
workshop will develop best practice
recommendations for SEDAR Data
Workshops.
Workshop objectives include
developing an inventory of common or
recurring data and analysis issues from
SEDAR Data Workshops; documenting
how the identified data and analysis
issues were addressed in the past and
identifying potential additional methods
to address these issues; developing and
selecting best practice procedures and
approaches for addressing these issues
in future, including procedures and
approaches to follow when deviating
from best practice recommendations;
and identifying process to address
future revision and evaluation of
workshop recommendations,
considering all unaddressed data and
analysis issues. The post-workshop
webinar will be held, if necessary, to
finalize best practice recommendations
from the workshop.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
action during this meeting. Action will
be restricted to those issues specifically
identified in this notice and any issues
arising after publication of this notice
that require emergency action under
section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, provided the public has been
notified of the intent to take final action
to address the emergency.
Special Accommodations
This meeting is accessible to people
with disabilities. Requests for auxiliary
aids should be directed to the SEDAR
office (see ADDRESSES) at least 10
business days prior to the meeting.
Note: The times and sequence specified in
this agenda are subject to change.
